"Whoever controls Halo controls the fate of the universe."
Captain Jacob Keyes

04特区,也被称为阿尔法光环(Installation 04, Alpha Halo),或简称光环(Halo),[4]是七个环形超级武器之一,组成了先行者光环阵列。它位于猎户旋臂索勒系统中,是离人类星区最近的光环。 [2]

星盟崇敬地将04特区描述为第一圣环第一圣环。在04特区战役结束时被摧毁后,方舟开始建造安装04的替代品。替代品被摧毁后,方舟建造了另一个替代品

Installation 04, also known as Alpha Halo, or simply Halo,[4] was one of seven ring-shaped superweapons that comprised the Forerunners' Halo Array. It was located in the Soell system in the Orion Arm and was the closest Halo ring to the human sphere.[2]

The Covenant reverentially described Installation 04 as either the First Holy Ring or the First Sacred Ring. After its destruction at the end of the Battle of Installation 04, the Ark started to construct a replacement for Installation 04. After the replacement was destroyed, the Ark constructed yet another replacement.

概述

安装04,连同它的弟兄们,目的是阻止和阻止被称为洪水的寄生虫形式消耗银河系中所有有知觉的生命,摧毁所有有知觉的生命,以防止最终的消费。如果发生洪水爆发,可以触发七个装置之一(进而触发剩余的光环),在 25,000 光年半径内消灭所有有知觉的生命。如果意外关闭,所有剩余的环将进入"待机状态",如果需要,它们可以立即从方舟发射。

安装04,直到它被约翰-117摧毁,由先行者人工智能结构(监视器),343有罪火花控制。

安装04的气候与地球的气候非常相似。环岛海洋上空有飓风。 [5]然而,天气是极其不可预知的 - 雨和降雪可能发生随机,导致科尔塔纳怀疑天气是否故意不规则,或者它是否遵循一种模式,如雪故意在控制室,以减缓洪水。 [6][7]环拥有多样化的生态系统,其中包括萨诺莱科洛的殖民地。 [8]

The purpose of Installation 04, along with its brethren, was to preclude and thwart the parasite forms known as the Flood from consuming all sentient life in the galaxy by destroying all sentient life to prevent eventual consumption. In the event of a Flood outbreak, one of the seven installations could be triggered (in turn triggering the remaining Halos) to annihilate all sentient life within a radius of 25,000 light years. In the event of an unexpected shutdown, all remaining rings would go into a "standby state", in which they could be fired at once from the Ark if need be.

Installation 04, until its destruction by John-117, was controlled by the Forerunner artificial intelligence construct (Monitor), 343 Guilty Spark.

The climate of Installation 04 was very similar to Earth's climate. There have been hurricanes over the oceans on the ring.[5] The weather was, however, extremely unpredictable - rain and snowfall could occur at random, leading Cortana to wonder if the weather was intentionally irregular, or if it followed a pattern such as snow being deliberately made at the control room to slow the Flood.[6][7] The ring boasted a diverse ecosystem, which included colonies of Thanolekgolo.[8]

安装04轨道的巨大气体巨人阈值,并暂停在拉格朗日点之间的阈值和其最大的自然卫星,基础。该装置与阈值的轨道平面有24度的轴向倾斜。正因如此,环表面的任何给定点都从恒星Soell接收阳光有一半的时间是在阈值的阳光面,没有一个是在黑暗面。这创造了一个有点不寻常的日夜周期的环,其中它是黑暗的四分之三的时间,没有日出或日落类似于一个星球。 [9]

环的直径为10,000公里,表面宽度为318公里,表面积为9,990,000km2。

Installation 04 orbited the massive gas giant Threshold, and was suspended in the Lagrange point between Threshold and its largest natural satellite, Basis. The installation had a 24-degree axial tilt from Threshold's orbital plane. Due to this, any given point on the surface of the ring received sunlight from the star Soell for half of the time it was on the sunny side of Threshold, and none when was on the dark side. This created a somewhat unusual day-night cycle for the ring, in which it was dark three-fourths of the time and had no sunrise or sunset similar to those of a planet.[9]

With a diameter of 10,000km and a surface width of 318km, the ring has a surface area of 9,990,000km2.

建造与早期历史

文件:HaloConstructionCEA.jpg
Sentinels finalizing Installation 04's construction process.

The Forerunners had Installation 04 constructed by the Foundry of Installation 00[10] approximately around the same time as the rest of the Halo Array, circa 97,445 BCE during the Forerunner-Flood war.[3][11] The array was designed by the Forerunner Builders to combat the parasitic Flood by eradicating them and all sentient life in the Milky Way. After the rings were built, Installation 04 and its fellow Halos were distributed from Installation 00 to positions across the galaxy through slipstream space portals.[3][12]

When the IsoDidact activated the Array at the Forerunner-Flood war's conclusion, ending the centuries-long conflict, Installation 04 was the first to fire,[13] followed shortly after by the other six Halo rings. Installation 04 lay dormant for a hundred thousand years, with 343 Guilty Spark and his Sentinels ready to keep the Flood confined in the Flood containment facilities and keeping the infrastructure of the Halo in perfect working order.

中间期

After eons of uneventful existence on Installation 04, 343 Guilty Spark eventually found himself bored. For his own amusement, Spark began an experiment in which he evacuated entire sections of the Installation into space; according to Spark, these were experiments to measure the geologic effects of exposure to the vacuum of space and the eventual biological recovery of the evacuated sections, in order to gain insight into emergency response scenarios.[14]

Around 40,000 BCE, an unidentified alien vessel crash landed in Sector 1215. Sometime prior to the crash the ship started broadcasting a distress signal.[15][16] After attempting to translate it, 343 Guilty Spark blocked the signal, as no communication revealing the location of any of the Halos was allowed.[15] After no lifeforms exited for several days, Spark had a large sarcophagus constructed around the vessel.[16]

Between the activation of the Array and the arrival of the UNSC and the Covenant, a number of space-faring species stumbled across the installation. Although they reportedly explored the facility and recorded their findings, all of these species eventually left without breaking containment.[17]

The 模板:UNSCShip arrives at Installation 04.

The Covenant discovered the location of Installation 04 after the Covenant Fleet of Particular Justice followed the 模板:UNSCShip, which was fleeing from the Fall of Reach through slipspace. The Halos are deeply ingrained into the Covenant's religious dogma, but prior to this discovery they had never actually found one. Due to the Covenant's faster slipspace capabilities, they arrived before the Pillar of Autumn.

The Pillar of Autumn arrived around September 19, 2552 and was promptly shot down by the warding Covenant ships. Shortly thereafter, the Covenant ground forces on Installation 04 accidentally unleashed the Flood from captivity. Humans, Flood, and the Covenant fought massive battles against one another as the Forerunner constructs tried to control the outbreak by activating Halo. The ring's monitor, 343 Guilty Spark, tried to convince the Master Chief to activate Halo. Not knowing the truth of what it did, he attempted to light the ring but was stopped by his AI friend and companion Cortana who was in the Core. She informed the Master Chief of Halo's true purpose and stashed the Activation Index in her memory banks. The Monitor betrayed the two and tried to kill the Master Chief and retrieve Cortana, but the two escaped and started plotting against him.

The destruction of Halo.

In the conclusion of the battle, John-117 detonated the Pillar of Autumn's fusion reactors in order to destroy the ring. The explosion critically damaged the superstructure below it; the resulting shockwave and damage to the ring's systems destabilized the ring, shattering it into pieces.[18][note 1]

Only a handful of humans and Covenant survived the battle. 343 Guilty Spark floated through space to a gas mining platform over Threshold, where he stumbled upon a Covenant expeditionary force. Inspired by his words, they began a heretical rebellion against the greater Covenant. Installation 04's destruction is seen as the first step in the chain of events that led to the Great Schism. The Heretics were quelled by Arbiter Thel 'Vadam who silenced their leader, but the seeds of a rebellion were planted. The Monitor was then captured by the loyal Covenant and later defected to the humans' side until he was destroyed on the replacement Alpha Halo by SPARTAN-117 with the help of Sergeant Johnson.

Installation 04 was the first Halo installation encountered by humanity, as well as first to be destroyed. Its destruction triggered the activation of a portal leading to Shield World 006 within Onyx, and also caused the Ark to start constructing a replacement ring.

Installation 04's destruction left behind a large field of debris, with a few large chunks of the ring remaining.[19] Some smaller pieces of Installation 04 have landed on Basis, while others have burned up in Threshold's atmosphere upon entry.[20] One damaged fragment notably made a slipspace jump as a safety measure, and ended up in a distant system.[21]

A segment of the broken ring.

Following the return of the survivors from the battle, the Office of Naval Intelligence learned of the Flood lifeform. Section III sought to establish a research laboratory in order to control the Flood parasite and possibly weaponize it against the Covenant. A science team headed by Major John Smith was authorized to take command of the prison vessel Mona Lisa. After bringing a group of Covenant prisoners aboard, they jumped to the wreckage of Alpha Halo in the Soell system. Some Flood specimens had survived the ringworld's destruction and were recovered to be experimented on both human and Covenant prisoners. However, the Flood soon broke quarantine and infected the ship. ONI later dispatched a prowler, the 模板:UNSCShip, to assess the status of the Mona Lisa under the pretenses of investigating Halo's debris field. On October 25, 2552, the prowler was forced to destroy the overrun vessel with a Shiva-class nuclear missile.[22]

第一个替代品

主条目: 08特区

Shortly after the destruction of the Halo, Installation 00 began to automatically construct a new Halo to replace Installation 04. This exact copy of the first Halo ring was nearing completion only a few months after the first ring was destroyed, but was also subsequently destroyed when it was fired before it was ready by John-117 and Cortana. 343 Guilty Spark attempted to prevent this, but was finally destroyed by the Master Chief with the help of Sergeant Johnson in the new ring's Control Room.[23]

战后

The UNSC's peace treaty with the Swords of Sanghelios forbids either party from landing on the remains of Installation 04.[24] There is a 500-light-second exclusion zone surrounding the former site of the ring. In 2556, Spartan-IV Fireteam Apollo was deployed to the exclusion zone in direct violation of the treaty; there they recovered some items of value, including a "black box" from the Covenant cruiser Undiminished Entelechy.[25]

At some point after the war, a Spartan-IV reconaissance team was deployed to Basis. Wearing VECTOR-class Mjolnir armor, a variant designed for artifact retrieval, their mission was to assess the debris of Alpha Halo scattered on the moon's surface.[26]

Lost fragment

主条目: Alpha Shard

When the Pillar of Autumn's reactors went critical, Installation 04 attempted to activate a safety measure and make a slipspace jump. However, this self-preservation protocol was only partly successful, and only a small portion of the ring managed to enter slipspace before the Autumn's reactors overloaded and destroyed the ring. The surviving fragment of the Halo reentered normal space in the vicinity of a red giant star some distance away from the Orrichon system and was caught in the giant star's orbit.[21] This fragment was home to a unique element apparently created by the heat of the ring's explosion and not found elsewhere in the universe. The element was later refined and used in a bioweapon unleashed in a terrorist attack on Sedra City.[24] A joint classified mission was launched to Alpha Shard by an ONI team and members of the Sedran Colonial Guard. Though most of the team was killed during the mission, Colonel Randall Aiken sacrificed himself to destroy the deposits with a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon.[27]

During the 模板:UNSCShip's battle with the Banished at the Ark in March 2559, Captain James Cutter, Professor Ellen Anders, and logistics AI Isabel formed a plan to deploy the second replacement for Alpha Halo, Installation 09, to the Soell system in an attempt to send a distress signal to human space.[28] On the way to the original site of Installation 04 however, a Forerunner Guardian construct controlled by Cortana's Created intercepted the ring.[29]

Redesigns

While the design of the Halos has stayed largely consistent across all post-Halo: Combat Evolved media, Installation 04 underwent a significant visual overhaul in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. The entire superstructure of the ring has been redesigned. To wit, the surface features are completely different and much more pronounced, including additions such as rows of prominent prongs lining the ring's edges and large-scale patterns of bluish light. This redesign has not been carried over to post-Anniversary media: the prongs are absent from Installation 03 in Halo 4, and a visual allusion to the Halos in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn follows the original design. However, the "prong" design does make a subtle appearance on the outer shells of the arcade machines for Halo: Fireteam Raven.

Installation 04 also underwent a number of visual changes in Halo 2: Anniversary, including the addition of blue lighting in the circular patterns on the ring's outer surface. Curiously, Installation 05 in the same game uses a distinct model, which bears different surface patterning more closely modeled after that in Bungie's games but is noticeably wider than either the Installation 04 model in Halo 2 Anniversary or the Halos in prior media. Furthermore, Blur Studio used Installation 05's model, rather than that of the original Installation 04, from Halo 2 Anniversary for Installation 09 in Halo Wars 2.[30][31]

Miscellaneous

  • Sergeant Johnson humorously describes Installation 04 as "God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch-machine" and a "giant hula-hoop".
    • The former is surprisingly accurate as to the ring's actual function, since the Forerunners were worshiped as gods by the Covenant, the Flood could quite accurately be referred to as a "son of a bitch", and the ring's purpose is to fight the Flood.
  • Except for Boarding Action and Chiron TL-34, all Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer maps are set on Installation 04.
  • It is possible to see falling debris from Installation 04 on the Halo 2 multiplayer map Burial Mounds.

Notes

  1. The particulars of Installation 04's destruction differ throughout its various depictions. In Halo: Combat Evolved, Combat Evolved Anniversary and most terminal depictions, a portion of the ring next to the Autumn's explosion is sent flying to the other side where it bisects the ring, further splintering the superstructure. The most noticeable change is in the flashback portion of the level The Heretic in Halo 2: Anniversary, where the fragment is no longer propelled to the other side and the ring simply shatters, with the explosions spreading in both directions of the epicenter in a chain reaction. The blue lights on the outer surface are also seen going out in this version. The Halo 2: Anniversary terminals give two versions of the ring's destruction, the first (in Terminal 4) being identical to Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary's Terminal 11, which is closer to the original Halo: Combat Evolved mechanics, although the ring's shattering is more violent. The second version, shown in Terminal 12, is closer in line with the depiction in Halo 2: Anniversary version of the flashback in The Heretic and lacks the shard being blasted to the opposite side.
